LibreWolf — summary

LibreWolf is the Firefox-without-Mozilla-telemetry option.

+ Telemetry off; sponsored content off; uBlock Origin pre-installed.
+ Frequent rebases off upstream Firefox.
+ No accounts, no sync (by default).
− Not anti-fingerprinting at Tor Browser's level — the user base is too small for uniformity.
− Manual updates on some platforms.
− Facts need re-verification by operator (last seeded 2026-01).

Mullvad Browser is Tor Browser's anti-fingerprinting work without the Tor network.

+ Hardened Firefox sharing Tor Browser's anti-fingerprinting configuration.
+ Designed to be used with a VPN (Mullvad or other) rather than Tor.
+ No accounts, no telemetry, no profiles.
− Not Tor by default — you must put it behind a VPN to get network-layer privacy.
− Younger than Tor Browser; review the release history.
− Facts need re-verification by operator (last seeded 2026-01).
